Super easy today, with some nice, clever clues.

I solved the Tuesday 12/05/2023 New York Times Daily Crossword in 5:53! https://www.nytimes.com/crosswords/game/by-id/21539

Crazy. Took me 6 minutes just go get through half of it, haha.

Crosswords are so uneven from person to person. If there are a bunch of clues about knowledge areas where you know nothing, then it can easily stump you. On the other hand, if it plays into your strengths, then you’ll just swim right through it.

Another Tuesday that I found to be relatively easier than the Monday.

Didn't understand the theme at all even after solving it. Had to rely on the daily column to understand the meaning of the theme. Not my favourite.

Today’s mini felt harder than the big crossword. Took me well over a minute to finish.

1:30. I keep forgetting that sometimes it’s more than one word, and that’s where I usually get stuck because I’m trying to think of only one word.

2:20, my sleepy head misinterpreted some clues and made them harder than necessary for me.
